Stick Dog a Review and Competition.

I was very happy to receive a copy of Stick Dog to review, it's written by Tom Watson and is full of comedy, adventure and fantastically simple drawings!It's aimed at children aged 9+ to read themselves but having said that, my 3 year old really enjoyed me reading it aloud and looking at the pictures - the comedy is simple and you can't help but giggle! Blake couldn't stop laughing when we read about one of the dogs named poo-poo! Personally I liked Karen, the sausage dog best! And because Blake is going through a slight case of super-hero obsession, I was made to read the bit about super-dog swinging by a rope around her tummy to look like flying several million billion times! The whole adventure is based around a quest for a hamburger!

Blake reading Stick Dog

Stick Dog and his friends, Mutt, Stripes, Karen and Poo-Poo have caught the scent of hamburgers and what hungry stray could resist that lovely meaty waft? All they have to do is follow the smell, find the barbecue and eat the hamburgers. But it’s not as easy as it sounds. The dogs need a ‘Master Plan’ and they’re not short of ideas. They’re just short of ideas that aren’t ridiculous, or dangerous, or just very very silly.With hilarious artwork, and an adorable four-legged hero, the story of Stick Dog’s quest for a delicious dinner is destined to be Top Dog."CompetitionI'm lucky enough to have been offered a copy of "Stick Dog" to one of my lovely readers.To enter the competition, please leave a comment below telling me why you want to win - don't forget to include a way for me to contact you if you are the winner, such as twitter id or email please.The prize will be sent directly to the winner from the company supplying the prize.Open to the UK only please.Competition will close on Wednesday 6th March 2013 at 12noon.One winner will be selected using random.org, please reply with your details with 7days of winning or another winner will be selected.Bonus entries:•Tweet a link to the comp including @beachpebble•Like "Emma in Bromley" Facebook page•Pin this comp on pinterest•Google + this post•Follow me on GFC•Leave a comment on another of my blog posts (not other comps)Please leave a separate comment below for each of your bonus entries so I can count them (max 1 for each method).Emma in Bromley x

My 8 year old daughter would love this book, shes a massive fan of the wimpy kid and dork diary books so it looks like this will really appeal to her. She is currently reading the spy dog series and loves stories with dogs in them.
